Ingredients for 4 people:

• 250 grams mascarpone

Add the marsala and continue to whip until well blended into the mixture. Merge slowly, with a spatula, the mascarpone: at this point you will get a smooth cream, smooth and dense. Put it in the fridge to rest for 15.30 minutes.

To serve, coarsely crumble a little’ amaretti cookies or cookies that you have chosen, put them on the bottom of 4 cups and cover with abundant mascarpone cream. Garnish with the chopped dark chocolate. Serve immediately, accompanying the cream with the same cookies that you used at the base of the cake and Bon Appetit.

THE PAIRING: A grappa made from the grape variety Sauvignon is our suggestion for this sweet. Try a grappa produced in Trentino by the distillery Marzadro. It is appreciated for its softness and fits better with the taste of the macaroons.
